Blodi by Arthur Dittlmann

Blodi – Lederhosen-Tip-Cap Blues against the Stupidization of the World

The “Blodi” is more than just an artistic persona – he is an absurd-poetic world theatre, born from the writings of Regensburg music ethnologist Felix Hoerburger (1916–1997) and revived by Arthur Dittlmann, journalist, author, and BR broadcaster.

Hoerburger’s “Schnubiglbairisch” – a whimsical artistic language made of scent, sound, syllables, and twists of meaning – encounters in Dittlmann’s work blues, Bavarian grooves, and a hearty dose of subversive wit. Somewhere between Kurt Schwitters, Ernst Jandl, and Karl Valentin, the Blodi becomes a poetic-musical event: wild, rhythmic, language-obsessed, and deeply unique.

With the “Blodi,” language is deconstructed, the absurd is celebrated – and along the way, a musical antidote to the “stupidization” of the world is brewed.
